Summary: Begining Coder
Comment: Good F$#@!ing book. just go buy it! If your interested in learning what everything means when you read code that you\'ve cut and pasted. You will know it by the end of chapter 3. No $h!t. I'm just like dang! I give a shout out for Dave, Make more books like this one!

Summary: Not enough guidance in setting up test servers
Comment: Too little explanation between centralized server and virtual server. The author tells you to use Dreamweaver, but then does not provide enough information to use it. I went through the first three chapters without a problem, and then tried to start using the downloaded code examples. Immediately I ran into problems with Dreamweaver asking for information about the local host and test server that I did not know. The php pages are unable to open in the browser, and the includes file cannot be located.. I'm giving up and buying a different book that provides more guidance on the front end.

Summary: Hands down one of the best PHP books for newbies
Comment: This is easily the best book I've found on PHP for beginners. It's not the only book I'm using, but boy am I glad I started here. I have several years of experience with HTML, CSS, and ASP, and have recently decided to learn PHP/MySQL. If you have some background in web design, and want to learn PHP, David Powers is your man. Keep writing David!

Summary: PHP Solutions
Comment: This book is easy to read and easy to follow. The only downside is there are now review questions or tests at the end of the chapter to test yourself on what you've read.

Summary: php Solutions
Comment: I purchesed this book hoping it would give good examples. NOT!!! Just another book for people who already know what they are doing. Now this is my opinion and this book did nothing to help explain the INCLUDE function or how to handle directories in php which is the help I was looking for.
